The city of Toul is famous for its medieval heritage so. Strolling through the streets you can discover beautiful architectural relics of the past. At the heart of the historic city, Dr Denis street, at No. 4, is a beautiful Gothic door back to the thirteenth century with a tympanum depicting a sheep in relief flanked on either side of a shield decorated with a bird, a tree with flowers and the letter B and above another shield with the letter T recalling the original city of Toul. This shield has disappeared, leaving room for the number 4.
This door was included in the supplementary inventory of monuments Historic in 1939.
The owner of this house was perhaps related to the environment of sheep, ie sheep (there are sheep on the street a little further into the city, recalling that there were sheep). Was a tanner rich enough to afford a door carved tympanum?
